New: A DOGE staffer developed an AI tool to review Veterans Affairs contracts. But there was a slight hitch. It hallucinated the size of those deals. For example, it concluded that more than a thousand contracts were each worth $34M, when in fact some were for as little as $35,000.

No matter how slippery the SpaceX fans get in their defenses ("you don't understand, we learned so much!") the fact is these tests are waaaaay past the "experiments sometimes fail" stage. These are tests of what's supposed to be a working design and build. But it doesn't work. It blows up.
